The good guys lost. In the end, the bad guy lost worse though. ;)Stoopid is...
Mother of seven. How many fathers?
“Mirlande Wilson” a “Haitian immigrant” has a winning ticket.
“Layla” is her MickeyDees manager.
They live in Maryland.
Three guesses as to the race and subculture of this ‘winner.’
I know, I know ... I am “profiling.”
I’ll lay odds she’ll be bankrupt within three years.
This thug will be broke within a year.
There is case law on this. Unless they had a written contract to share that particular ticket, or all tickets, she gets to keep it all for herself.
When this goes to court, she’ll lose just like that jerk in New Jersey last month.
***’We had a group plan, but I went and played by myself.***
Interesting. I’ve heard that before about big winners. They seem to always buy the winning ticket separate from the group buy.
Group pools money. Sends Joe to the store to buy ten tickets.
Joe buys 11 tickets. Joe wins, then claims the “extra” ticket was not part of the group’s buy.
It’s like dealing with retarded adults ...
Wanna play the lottery and pool money at work? No problem. Pool the money, buy the tickets, lay your tickets on the copy-machine, and everyone in the pool gets a copy of the tickets that were purchased. No questions, no accusations - no hassles.
Wanna buy more, on your own? No problem. Your tickets aren’t on the photo-copy. Everyone knows what the pool tickets are. Safe, secure, no muss, no fuss.
Town of Red Bud buzzes over who won Mega Millions
The woman refused to show the alleged winning ticket, saying she would present it to lottery officials Monday. But a clerk at the 7-Eleven where Wilson bought tickets said lottery officials who reviewed the store’s video believe a man bought the winning ticket, the Post reported.
If the McDonald’s manager gave her $5 and told her to buy more tickets, I’d say the manager has a legitimate beef but not the others.
This woman has 7 kids. I’d bet there’s a least one man out there who’s still legally married to her.
I knew a woman who won the lottery. Seven years earlier her husband had filed for a divorce but she wouldn’t sign the papers. It went into limbo and they were still legally married all this time. He wanted his half. She refused to cash the ticket until they could finalize the divorce. The court had the head of the lottery commission testify that it was a “win” as soon as the sixth number was drawn. The court then ordered her to cash the ticket and give her “husband” his half.
Even more funny, her boyfriend tried to claim he gave her the dollar she used to buy the ticket. The court refused to hear his case.
The good guys lost. In the end, the bad guy lost worse though. ;)I’ve never understood the concept of pooling tickets. If you want to win the money, buy it yourself. I’d never give somebody else money to act as a third party in a lottery purchase, no matter how trustworthy they may appear. Something about instant money changes that trust in a jiffy.
Typical lotto winners..never fails.
-Retired millionaire doctors/surgeons.
-Elderly people with one foot in the grave.
-The very poor.
-A large group of office/factory workers who will all end up suing each other for various reasons for years after the drawing.
Big lottery winnings bring out the worst in people, and more often than not, make the lives of the winners worse. This case is not going to end well.
Rule #1: Never tell anybody you won until.
1. You’ve changed your phone number.
2. Hired a lawyer.
OMG, everyone is all for sharin’ unless they don’t want to.
How’s this for a simple solution:
If you’re the one assigned to buy “pool tickets” at work, just put the betting slips into an envelope and leave that envelope at work. Heck, lock it up in the company safe if that makes everyone feel better.
Then you can buy all the “personal” tickets you want and they can’t claim that you improperly kept the winner for yourself.
